The Best Real Estate Investment Training: The HomeVestors® Franchise Opportunity

Imagine entering a room full of anticipation. About 25 other new franchisees chatter excitedly, getting to know their new colleagues. Everyone is smiling and looking forward to learning about real estate investing together this week and supporting each other in building an independently owned and operated professional home buying business. Finally, CEO and president David Hicks along with the Treasurer, Ken Channel, who have 60 years of combined experience in real estate and franchising, head to the front of the room and everyone hushes.
